Well, I just got back from the “O Dome” – the O’Connell Sports Centre (basketball stadium) of the University of Florida. I joined 10,000 other Florida fans to scream, yell and engage in watching the Florida Gators thrash the Ohio State Buckeyes on the big screens in the National College Football Championship game (which was in Arizona). It was nuts. These are very serious fans. Even before the game (like, hours before) they were yelling and chanting, and as Florida dominated the game it just got louder and louder and more animated in the crowd. As we were leaving the stadium, people were chanting “It’s great… to be… a Florida Gator” in that syncopated cheer. Unbelievable.

I also saw a Mexican wave done intentionally in slow motion, then in mega-speed-up… very weird, but very cool.
